Home from the hospital!!
Dec 31, 2011
Well it is New Years Eve and I am home with a small pouch. So happy that the surgery is over with---now the healing process. It was hard to get my fluids in while I was in the hospital, and I guess it was due to the Iv fluids making me feel full and bloated. So I came home this morning, and got myself settled, so far I drank 20z of aquafina flavored water, 1 sugar free jello, 1 Popsicle, and 1-8 oz of isopure. So I think I am doing pretty good, I am just trying to stay moving, and drinking so that I won't get hydrated. I feel a lil sore and tired, so I took 2 crushed up Tylenol to help ease the pain, and later on before I go to sleep I will take the prescribed liquid narcotic. I got to blow in that air thing they give you after surgery--it helps exercise your lungs, and it helps prevents pneumonia( boy is that hard it seems like I get short of breath really quick, and I did not have this problem pre op) They wanted to discharge me last nite, but the pharmacy had closed and I would not have my pain meds, so I asked if I could stay until the morning. Well I am happy to be home, and Happy New Years Oh family be blessed, and as soon as I start healing I will feel alot better!
